Hello all,

Since the new random device has been put in, sysutils/monitorix no longer has a sysctl to poll to view the current state of entropy (i.e. kern.random.sys.seeded).

I have come to the understanding that it is no longer necessary or relevant information with the new driver, and entropy is always at an acceptable state; the author has suggested disabling this test on FreeBSD.

Am I correct that there is no point in checking for entropy any more, and the entropy is unmeasurable?

Chris
